Win over Nacional lets Benfica match feat not seen for three years | OneFootball

Benfica matched a record it hadn’t reached in about three years. In the aftermath of their victory against Nacional, the Eagles, led by José Mourinho, secured their third consecutive away win, something that hadn’t happened since the 2022/23 season.

This achievement came after Benfica managed an important week of matches across different competitions: Liga Portugal Betclic, Champions League, and Portuguese Cup. In the league, the Glorious defeated the islanders (2-1); in the millionaires’ competition, the victim was Ajax (2-0); and, in the queen of competitions, the Eagles eliminated Atlético (2-0).

In the current season, the Club of Light had already achieved a similar feat, also recording three consecutive wins without conceding a goal. This happened on two occasions: once with Bruno Lage and another with José Mourinho. Under the guidance of the Special One, Benfica beat Arouca (5-0), Tondela (3-0), and Vitória de Guimarães (3-0).

The last time the Reds managed three straight away wins was in the 2022/23 season, the first under Roger Schmidt. At that time, the German led the Reds to victories against Maccabi Haifa (6-1) and Estoril (5-1 and 1-0), in the Champions League, League, and Cup.

Preparations begin this Monday, December 1. The match between the Eagles and the Lions is scheduled for Friday, December 5, at Estádio da Luz.
